Top rookie Zaccharie Risacher's first breakout ended the New York Knicks' road trip on a sour note.
Zaccarie Risacher's infantile career night ended the Knicks' first major road trip of the season on a sour note, as New York dropped a 121-116 decision to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night at State Farm Arena.
With most of that tally built through a 6-of-10 effort from three-point range, Risacher became the fifth rookie sink at least six from deep against the Knicks. Lauri Markkanen holds the record with eight while Mike Miller, Landry Shamet, and Coby White have likewise pulled that off. From there, however, Atlanta embarked on a 16-6 run to close the game: Clint Capela, who dominated the Knicks in the paint all the night played the hero by hitting the free throws that completed Atlanta's mini-comeback at 1:09 before slamming down an emphatic dunk that pushed the lead to three 23 seconds later.
